The Red Rider Trike is designed for ease of use for young children. It can be used as a glider bike for initial balance development or with pedals for learning to pedal. The quiet ride tires ensure a smooth experience on various surfaces.

The trike includes a covered storage bin located at the rear. This bin is ideal for children to carry small toys or treasures during their rides. To open, lift the lid. To close, press the lid down firmly until it clicks into place.
